I still think Palin has pulled McCain down the last weeks after her initial celebrity status. Even if someone is for McCain, they can't wrap their mind around a possible President Palin. She would bode so much better to limit her political ambitions to Alaska, or........the PTA! She doesn't seem to know what she doesn't know.

McCain has admitted in the past that economics isn't his strong suit. Has he been able to memorize a plan that has no doubt been drafted by his managers?

will no doubt be posted fast and furiously after this last debate tonight.
Wonder what percentage have already voted because these debates really don't make much difference to people who have really kept themselves informed on the policies of each candidate all along.

SP4: here's the part you'll loveOct 15th, 2008 - 17:44:50

...Obama's tax hikes. Now picture this:

Small and medium sized business getting taxed once (owners personally) and then twice, (corporate) then a third time (capital gains).

At each turn, these investors, who create most of the new jobs in America, will retreat into the 600,000 page tax code, while dem and repub lawmakers draft new one's for each of their constituants.

Now, tax revenue starts slumping (GW Bush holding the all-time high record with CUTS)...and the dem libnazi conclusion will be 'oh, it just was not enough!' and proceed with another round, because, when libnazi plans do not work, the conclusion is always that it was never enough, but right, nonetheless.

Now, revenue is going down, and the deficit starts creepiong out, helped by the dems wars they inhereted, and the promise that ever homeowner is owed a home, three fold (once, with fed funds to the bank, twice with the bailout and thrice with the gov't co-signing, or buying the bad loan) .


Congressional cutbacks?

Dream on. The left will feed at the trough like the right, and we'll get more unfunded $300 bill farm bills, like we just did.

So, capital dries up, sent to tax shelter land, where it cannot grow the economy.

NAFTA - some kind of diddling, after all, he has to, but Obama will be told that he depends on thismore than the trade partners do, after all, no one remembers who signed it into law the foirst place.

That is, if he ever had it in the first place. Same tired old responses from the self-inflicted brain damage, gutter dwelling, Bush hemorrhoid. So much for his personally espoused superior brain. The local commedian doesn't realise that it is time for him to get off the stage and let the show go on. His act is long over. He does love to be in the spotlight, but like all narcissists, he doesn't realise that over-exposure is not conducive to a long career. The jokester has become the joke. Get a new act sweetcheeks.

politicians for ever have done their own thing and for their benefit, and they can only bring about as much change as those around them will let them. I can remember relatives from many years ago, yelling about politicians and how they are bilking the public and on and on it goes.

Two observations of this guy: Ted Sampley, who fought with the special forces in Vietnam and now campaigns for veterans' rights - 'I have been following his career for 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy, and I can tell you what it is - deceit!'
Ross Perot - 'McCain is always reaching for attention and glory!' It's been a given that he has been a womanizer as soon as he returned from being prisoner and saw his disabled wife. He settled on rich Cindy and then divorced his wife - a real true family man with impeccable values.

GET READY 'WHACK-A-MOLE'Oct 15th, 2008 - 18:25:54

The prattle has already started, but after this scheduled fiasco of madness, you had better have done your press-ups, because there will be a hell of a lot of whacking to be done.

ESS PEE has already issued a few words of non-interest, but after these two dick-heads have made a fool of themselves in public, ESS PEE will have his moment of dominant glory.

Although Obama is no more than some juvenile black jerk-off from God knows where (I doubt if he knows), that stinking cretin of a bitch Palin has just about nailed the lid on poor old Grandpa McCain`s wooden box.

So - get your BIG club ready for tomorrow mate, it`s gonna make yer arm ache.

Obama is now a banker for 4 long years of a YABBA-DABBA-DOO Presidency.

We had all better get ready for a l-o-n-g stretch of - 'LOADIN DE BANANA BOTE OLE NAHT LONG'

I didn't realize it until you mentioned it that McCain's campaign slogans are 'leftist drivel'. That may seem mighty unbecoming for a maverick reformer, but then again perhaps all them reformers are communist oriented anyway.

Rumor has it that caveman McCain spends his leisure time wallowing on a plush sofa in his palacios palace with a large glass of Cognac, reminiscing on his luxurious days in the Hanoi Hilton, where servant girls pampered to his every needs whilst trying not to think of his fellow fly-boys in their bamboo cages being eaten alive by ants and roaches.

All this imaginative paradise whilst repeatedly playing an old Bing Crosby 78 record of 'I`M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS'

Cindy stated that John didn't need any treatment or help after his imprisonment as he had training to deal with it.....if it was so bad, surely he would have needed something. He came back to a loving wife, but he soon found Cindy - maybe that was his treatment!

Wow. McCain showed up!Oct 16th, 2008 - 03:39:40

I think McCain did the best he could have done tonight and he landed almost all the punches in the available arsenal, I don't see how he could have done any better.

The one time that I think Obama told a bald face lie was when he attempted to deny his vote on the infanticide bill. He said it was not true. These things are a matter of public record, and are not subject to spin.

Obama nailed itOct 16th, 2008 - 03:49:11

He explained his reasoning for voting as he did regarding the abortion bill, that it didn't have a provision for consideration of the health of the mother. People totally against abortion for any reason would rather see a mother lose her life in order to carry a fetus to term. They don't care if she has other children who would lose their mother, but that is all an old debate. His vote was justified. McCain totally screwed himself with his comments.

Obama protected infanticide.Oct 16th, 2008 - 04:17:13

'He explained his reasoning for voting as he did regarding the abortion bill, that it didn't have a provision for consideration of the health of the mother.'

OBAMA LIED, again. The bill was identical to the federal bill which had provisions for the health of the mother. Additionally, the Born Alive infants act covered children who were 'born alive'. How would treating a live infant threaten the health of the mother? They would be sepperate people at that point.

No, Obama voted to deliberately allow live babies to die.

'People totally against abortion for any reason would rather see a mother lose her life in order to carry a fetus to term.'

THE BORN ALIVE PROTECTION ACT is what they were talking about. Obama voted to allow doctors deny treatment to babies who survived an attempted abortion once they are out of the mothers body. He dazzled your simple mind with BS and you bought it.

A US teacher(!) was heard to screech 'I mean, his middle name is HUSSEIN! I'm not going to vote for someone whose middle name is HUSSEIN!'

Unbelieveable ! Is it any wonder the World outside racist, prejudiced America thinks you are all a bunch of idiots and ill educated morons, who have no understanding of the real World ?

Hussein means 'good', by the way.
